No, the licenses are not ignored. Both, the GPL and the CDDL require the source available for any copy of the resulting program distributed. In that spirit, there is no license violation. There is some disagreement to which extend linking programs under those licenses is technically possible. But the verdict is still out, whether this is a problem at all. But for the goals both licenses aim for - open source which stay open source, is not violated. This is not a company shipping a closed source executable based on modified sources. They are just shipping precompiled binaries based on available sources.
